FIG. 3 is a timing diagram when the shift register inFIG. 2 carries out forward scanning in a first mode. In combination withFIGS. 2 and 3 , the first mode is a compatibility mode. This mode is divided into a pre-charge phase, an output phase, a reset phase and a denoising phase. - In the pie-charge phase, the first switch transistor M1 is turned on under the control of an input signal input by a signal input terminal Input (N), wherein the input signal input by the signal input terminal Input(N) is an output signal output by an output terminal Output(n−1) of a previous stage of shift register, and an output signal output by an output terminal Output(N−1) of a previous stage of shift register is a high level signal, A clock signal CLK input by the clock signal terminal CLK is a low level signal. Since the first switch transistor M1 is turned on, the first power supply charges the capacitor C1 through the first switch transistor M1, such that the voltage of the pull-up node NJ is pulled up. At this time, the voltage output by the first power supply is a voltage VDD, and the voltage VDD output by the first power supply is at a high level. The third switch transistor M3, the sixth switch transistor M6 and the seventh switch transistor M7 are turned on under the control of the voltage of PU. At this time, the voltage at the node R1 is at the high level. The seventh switch transistor M7 is turned on, such that the voltage of the gate of the eighth switch transistor M8 is a voltage VGL output by the third power supply, and the eighth switch transistor M8 is turned off under the control of the voltage VGL output, by the third power supply. At this time, the voltage VGL output by the third power supply is at the low level. The sixth switch transistor M6 is turned on, such that the voltage of the pull-own node PD is the voltage output by the third power supply. Since the voltage VGL, output by the third power supply is at the low level, the voltage of the pull-down node PD is at the low level. The fourth switch transistor M4 and the tenth switch transistor M10 are turned off under the control of the voltage of the pull-down node PD. The fifth switch transistor M5 is turned off under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW, and at this time the voltage output by the switch power supply SW is at the low level. The fourth switch transistor M4, the fifth switch transistor M5 and the tenth switch transistor M10 are turned off, so that it is ensured that the signal of the output terminal Output is output stably.
- In the output phase, the fifth switch transistor M5 is turned off under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW, and at this time the voltage output by the switch power supply SW is at the low level. The twelfth switch transistor M12 is turned off under control the voltage of the pull-up node PU, and the eleventh switch transistor M11 and the thirteenth switch transistor M13 are turned off under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW. At this time, the first switch transistor M1 is turned off under the control of the input signal input by the signal input terminal Input(N), wherein the input signal input by the signal input terminal Input(N) is an output signal output by an output terminal Output(N−1) of a previous stage of shift register, and the output signal output by the output terminal Output(N−1) of the previous stage of shift register is a low level signal. The voltage of the pull-up node PU is maintained at the high level, so that the third switch transistor M3 maintains turned on under the control of the voltage of the pull-up node PU. At this time, since the clock signal input by the clock signal input terminal CLK is at the high level, the voltage of the pull-up node PU is enlarged under the effect of bootstrapping, and finally the driving signal is transmitted to the output terminal Output, so that the output terminal Output outputs the driving signal. At this time, the sixth switch transistor M6 and the seventh switch transistor M7 are still in a turn-on state under the control of the voltage of the node PU, so that the fourth switch transistor M4 and the tenth switch transistor M10 are still in the turn-off state, while the fifth switch transistor M5 is still in the turn-off state under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW, so as to ensure that the signal of the output terminal Output is output stably.
- In the reset phase, the second switch transistor M2 is turned on under control the reset signal input by the reset signal terminal RESET, wherein the reset signal input by the reset signal terminal RESET is an output signal output by an output terminal Output(N+1) of a next stage of shift register, and the output signal output by the output terminal Out(N+1) of the next stage of shift register is the high level signal. After the second switch transistor M2 is turned on, the voltage of the pull-up node PU is pulled down to the voltage output by the second power supply under the influence of the voltage VSS output by the second power supply. At this time, since the voltage VSS output by the second power supply is at the low level, the voltage of the pull-up node PU is at the low level, so that the third switch transistor M3, the sixth switch transistor M6 and the seventh switch transistor M7 are turned off. The ninth switch transistor M9 and the eighth switch transistor M8 are turned on under the control the voltage VGH output by the fourth power supply, the voltage VGH output by the fourth power supply is at the high level, so that the voltage of the pull-down node PD is pulled up, and the voltage of the pull-down node PD is at the high level. The fourth switch transistor M4 and the tenth switch transistor M10 are turned on under the control of the pull-down node PD, so that the voltage of the pull-up node PU is pulled down to the voltage VGL output by the third power supply through the tenth switch transistor M10, and the voltage of the output terminal Output is pulled down to the voltage VGL output by the third power supply through the fourth switch transistor M4, and the voltage VCR, output by the third power supply is at the low level.
- In the denoising phase, no signal is output by the output terminal Output, and the first switch transistor M1 maintains in the turn-off state. The eighth switch transistor M8 and the ninth switch transistor M9 maintains in the turn-on state, such that the voltage of the pull-down node PD maintains at the high level when no signal is output by the output terminal Output, the fourth switch transistor M4 and the tenth switch transistor M10 are turned on, the tenth switch transistor M10 denoises the pull-up node PU constantly, and the fourth switch transistor M4 denoises the output terminal Output constantly. The aforesaid denoising process can make the coupling nose produced by the clock signal terminal eliminated, so as to guarantee stability of signal output.
- Before display of a next frame picture comes, the gate shift register repeats the denoising phase to carry out denoising process constantly. During the period that the display of a current frame picture ends up and before the display of the next frame picture comes, that is, in a V-Blank phase, the fifth switch transistor M5 is turned on under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW to denoise the output terminal Output. At this time, the voltage output by the switch power supply SW is at the high level. However, since the voltage of the pull-up node PU is at the low level, the twelfth switch transistor M12 is turned off under the control of the voltage of the pull-up node PU, so that the eleventh switch transistor M11 and the thirteen switch transistor M13 are also turned off. Herein, when it needs to carry out the touch control function, the touch control process can be realized in the V-Blank phase. Since in the V-Blank phase the output terminal Output is denoised constantly, the driving signal output by the output terminal can be prevented from interfering with the touch control signal. It can be known from the above content that the compatibility mode can be used for the V-Blank mode in which the touch control process is carried out in the V-Blank phase. In addition, when the display device does not carry out the touch control phase, the compatibility mode can further be used for the display mode in which no touch control process is carried out. To sum up, the compatibility mode can be compatible with the display mode and the V-Blank mode. Therefore, the compatibility mode can be compatible with a conventional gate driving mode and the V-Bank gate driving mode of the in-cell touch control. This phase is not shown particularly in the figure.

FIG. 4 is a timing diagram when the shift register inFIG. 2 carries out the forward scanning in the second mode. In combination withFIGS. 2 and 4 , the second mode is an H-Blank mode. This mode comprises a pre-charge phase, a touch control phase, an output phase, a reset phase and a denoising phase. - In the pre-charge phase, the first switch transistor M1 is turned on under the control of the input signal input by the signal input terminal Input(N), wherein the input signal input by the signal input terminal Input(N) is the output signal output by the output terminal Output(N−1) of the previous stage of shift register, and the output signal output by the output terminal Output(N−1) of the previous stage of shift register is the high level signal. The clock signal CLK input by the clock signal terminal is the low level signal. Since the first switch transistor M1 is turned on, the first power supply charges the capacitor C1 through the first switch transistor M1, such that the voltage of the pull-up node PU is pulled up. At this time, the voltage output by the first power supply is the voltage VDD, and the voltage VDD is at the high level. The third switch transistor M3, the sixth switch transistor M6 and the seventh switch transistor M7 are turned on under the control of the voltage of the pull-up node PU. At this time, the voltage of the pull-up node PU is at the high level. The seventh switch transistor M7 is turned on, such that the voltage of the gate of the eighth switch transistor M8 is the voltage VGL output by the third power supply, and the eighth switch transistor M8 is turned off under the control of the voltage VGL output by the third power supply. At this time, the voltage VGL output by the third power supply is at the low level. The sixth switch transistor M6 is turned on, such that the voltage of the pull-down node PD is the voltage VGL output by the third power supply, Since the voltage VGL output by the third power supply is at the low level, the voltage of the pull-down node PD is at the low level, and the fourth switch transistor M4 and the tenth switch transistor M10 are turned off under the control of the voltage of the pull-down node PD. The fifth switch transistor M5 is turned off under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW, and at this time the voltage output by the switch power supply SW is at the low level. The fourth switch transistor M4, the fifth switch transistor M5 and the tenth switch transistor M10 are turned off, so as to ensure that the signal of the output terminal Output is output stably.
- In the touch control phase (i.e., H-Blank phase), the voltage of the pull-up node PU continues to maintain the high voltage, and the twelfth switch transistor M12 is turned on under the control of the voltage of the pull-up node PU. At this time, the voltage output by the switch power supply SW is at the high level, and the eleventh switch transistor M11 and the thirteen switch transistor M13 are turned on under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW. Since the voltage output by the switch power supply SW is at the high level, the fifth switch transistor M5 is turned on under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW to denoise the output terminal Output(N), such that no driving signal is output by the output terminal Output, which prevents the diving signal from interfering with the touch control signal, thereby ensuring that no influence is made on the touch control function, Since the eleventh switch transistor M11 and the thirteenth switch transistor M13 are turned on, the switch power supply SW can carry out supplementary charge on the pull-up node PU, such that the voltage of the pull-up node PU is at the high level and would not be reduced. Since three switch transistors, i.e., the eleventh switch transistor M11, the twelfth switch transistor M12 and the thirteenth switch transistor M13, are disposed in the compensation module, and the switch power supply SW needs to charge the pull-up node PU through two transistors, i.e., the eleventh switch transistor M11 and the thirteenth switch transistor M13, so that coupling capacitance between the switch power supply SW and the pull-up node PU is reduced effectively, which avoids the problem of influencing the display of other rows due to pulling up of the voltage of the pull-up node of other rows, so that the display quality is improved.
-
FIG. 5 is a timing diagram without compensating for the pull-up node. As shown inFIG. 5 and referring toFIG. 2 , since the second switch transistor M2 and the tenth switch transistor M10 have the phenomenon of leakage, the voltage of the pull-up node PU would be pulled down if a supplementary charge of the pull-up node PU is not performed, thereby causing the voltage of the pull-up node PU reduced. In this way, after the touch control is ended up, the problem that no driving signal is output or the output voltage of the driving signal is too low would occur. By comparingFIGS. 4 and 5 , it can be seen that after the supplementary charge of the pull-up node PU is carried out inFIG. 4 , the voltage of the pull-up node PU is at the high level and would not be reduced. At the same time, since the voltages of the pull-up node PU in the shift register corresponding to other rows are all at the low level, subsequent operation of the shift register corresponding to other rows would not be influenced. - In the output phase, at this time, the voltage output by the switch power supply SW is at the low level, and the fifth switch transistor M5 is turned off under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW. The twelfth switch transistor M1.2 is turned on under the control of the voltage of the pull-up node PU, and then the eleventh switch transistor M11 and the thirteenth switch transistor M13 are turned off under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW. At this time, the first switch transistor M1 is turned off under the control of the input signal input by the signal input terminal Input(N), wherein the input signal input by the signal input terminal Input(N) is an output signal output by the output terminal Output(N−1) of a previous stage of shift register, and the output signal output by the output terminal Output(N−1) of the previous stage of shift register is a low level signal. The voltage of the pull-up node PU maintains at the high level, and thereby the third switch transistor M3 maintains turned on under the control of the voltage of the pull-up node PU. At this time, since the clock signal CLK output by the clock signal output terminal is at the high level, the voltage of the pull-up node PU is enlarged under the effect of bootstrapping, and finally the driving signal is transmitted to the output terminal Output, so that the output terminal Output outputs the driving signal. At this time, the sixth switch transistor M6 and the seventh switch transistor M7 are still in the turn-on state under the control of the voltage of the pull-up node PU, such that the fourth switch transistor M4 and the tenth switch transistor M10 are still in the turn-off state while the fifth switch transistor M5 is still in the turn-off state under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW, so as to ensure that the signal of the output terminal Output is output stably.
- In the reset phase, the second switch transistor M2 is turned on under the control of the reset signal input by the reset signal terminal RESET, wherein the reset signal input by the reset signal terminal RESET is an output signal output by an output terminal Output(N+1) of a next stage of shift register, and the output signal output by the output terminal Output(N+1) of the next stage of shift register is the high level signal. After the second switch transistor M2 is turned on, the voltage of the pull-up node PU is pulled down to the voltage VSS output by the second power supply under the influence of the voltage output by the second power supply. At this time, since the voltage VSS output by the second power supply is at the low level, the voltage of the pull-up node PU is at the low level, so that the third switch transistor M3, the sixth switch transistor M6 and the seventh switch transistor M7 are turned off. The ninth switch transistor M9 and the eighth switch transistor M8 are turned on under the control of the voltage VGH output by the fourth power supply, and the voltage VGH output by the fourth power supply is at the high level, so that the voltage of the pull-down node PD is pulled up, and the voltage of the pull-down node PD is at the high level. The fourth switch transistor M4 and the tenth switch transistor M10 are turned on under the control of the pull-down node PD, so as to pull down the voltage of the pull-up node PU to the voltage output by the third power supply through the tenth switch transistor M10 and pull down the voltage of the output terminal Output to the voltage output by the third power supply through the fourth switch transistor M4, and the voltage output by the third power supply is at the low level.
- In the denoising phase, no signal is output by the output terminal Output, and the first switch transistor M1 maintains in the turn-off state. The eighth switch transistor M8 and the ninth switch transistor M9 maintain in the turn-on state, such that the voltage of the pull-down node PD maintains at the high level when no signal is output by the output terminal Output. The fourth switch transistor M4 and the tenth switch transistor M10 are turned on. The tenth switch transistor M10 denoises the pull-up node PU constantly, and the fourth switch transistor M10 denoises the output terminal Output constantly. The above denoising process can make the coupling noise produced by the clock signal terminal eliminated, thereby ensuring the stability of the signal output.
- Before the display of the next frame picture comes, the gate shift register repeats the denoising phase and constantly carries out the denoising process. During the period that the display of the current frame picture is ended up and before the display of the next frame picture comes, that is, in the V-Blank phase, the fifth switch transistor M5 is turned on under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW to denoise the output terminal Output, and at this time, the voltage output by the switch power supply SW is at the high level. However, since the voltage of the pull-up node PU is at the low level, the twelfth switch transistor M12 is turned off under the control of the voltage of the pull-up node PU, so that the eleventh switch transistor M11 and the thirteenth switch transistor M13 are also turned off. Therefore, the V-Blank can be applied to the V-Blank gate driving mode of the in-cell touch control. This phase is not particularly shown in the figures.
- It needs to note that as shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , the touch control function is realized in a certain V-Blank phase in the process of displaying. After that, the process of displaying is carries out continuously. Description is given below by taking a first touch control phase being arranged between a first display scanning phase and a second display scanning phase inFIG. 4 as an example, the above pre-charge phase is carried out in the first display scanning phase, and then it enters into the V-Blank phase subsequent to the first display scanning phase, the first touch control phase is carried out in the V-Blank phase, the second display scanning phase is carried out continuously after the touch control phase ends up, and the output phase, the reset phase and the denoising phase are carried out in the second display scanning phase. - In the shift register provided in the present embodiments, the denoising module denoises the output terminal in the touch control phase, which prevents the driving signal output by the output terminal from interfering with the touch control signal, so as to avoid the touch control function of the display device from being affected; the compensation module charges the pull-up node in the touch control phase, which ensures that the voltage of the pull-up node would not be reduced, so that the problem of no driving signal is output or the voltage output by the driving signal is too low is avoided from occurring after the touch control ends up. In the present embodiment, three switch transistors, i.e., the eleventh switch transistor, the twelfth switch transistor and the thirteenth switch transistor, are disposed in the compensation module, and the switch power supply needs to charge the pull-up node through two switch transistors, i.e., the eleventh switch transistor and the thirteenth switch transistor, so that the coupling capacitance between the switch power supply and the pull-up node is reduced effectively, and the problem of influencing the display of other rows due to the pulling up of the voltage of the pull-up node of other rows, so that the display quality is raised.
- There is provided in a third embodiment of the present disclosure a shift register, and the shift register in the present embodiment can carry out backward scanning.

FIG. 6 is a structure schematic diagram of a shift register provided in the third embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown inFIG. 6 , on the basis of the first embodiment, thepre-charge module 1 in the shift register comprises a second switch transistor M2. A control electrode of the second switch transistor M2 is connected to the reset signal terminal RESET, a first electrode of the second switch transistor M2 is connected to the pull-up node PU, and a second electrode of the second switch transistor M2 is connected to the second power supply. - In the present embodiment, the
reset module 2 comprises: the first switch transistor M1, the fourth switch transistor M4, the seventh switch transistor M7, the eighth switch transistor M8, the ninth switch transistor M9 and the tenth switch transistor M10. The control electrode of the first switch transistor M1 is connected to the signal input terminal Input, the first electrode of the first switch transistor M1 is connected to the first power supply, and the second electrode of the first switch transistor M1 is connected to the pull-up node PU. - Connecting relationship of other structures in the present embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment, and thus no further description is given herein.
- The shift register in the embodiment can form a gate driving circuit by a mode of cascade connection. The shift register in the present embodiment can realize gate driving processes in two modes. The first mode is the compatibility mode, which is divided into a pre-charge phase, an output phase, a reset phase and a denoising phase.
- In the pre-charge phase, the second switch transistor M2 is turned on under the control of the reset signal input by the reset signal terminal RESET, wherein the reset signal input by the reset signal terminal RESET is the output signal output by the output terminal Output(N+1) of the next stage of shift register, and the output signal output by the output terminal Output(N+1) of the next stage of shift register is the high level signal. The clock signal CLK output by the clock signal terminal is a low level signal. Since the second switch transistor M2 is turned on, the second power supply charges the capacitor C1 through the second switch transistor M2, such that the voltage of the pull-up node PU is pulled up. At this time, the voltage output by the second power supply is the voltage VDD, and the voltage VDD output by the second power supply is at the high level. Operation processes of other structures in the pre-charge phase could refer to the first embodiment, and thus no repeated description is given herein.
- In the output phase, the second switch transistor M2 is turned off under the control of the reset signal input by the reset signal terminal RESET, wherein the reset signal input by the reset signal terminal RESET is the output signal output by the output terminal Output(N+1) of the next stage of shift register, and the output signal output by the output terminal Output(N+1) of the next stage of shift register is the low level signal. Operation processes of other structures in the output phase could refer to the first embodiment, and thus no repeated description is given herein.
- In the reset phase, the first switch transistor M1 is turned on under the control of the input signal input by the signal input terminal Input(N), wherein the input signal input by the signal input terminal Input(N) is the output signal output by the output terminal Output(N−1) of the previous stage of shift register, and the output signal output by the output terminal Output(N−1) of the previous stage of shift register is the high level signal. After the first switch transistor M1 is turned on, the voltage of the pull-up node PU is pulled down to the voltage VSS output by the first power supply under the control of the voltage output by the first power supply. At this time, since the voltage VSS output by the first power supply is at the low level, the voltage of the pull-up node PU is at the low level, such that the third transistor M3, the sixth switch transistor M6 and the seventh switch transistor M7 are turned off, Operation processes of other structures in the reset phase could refer to the first embodiment, and thus no repeated description is given herein.
- Operation process in the reset phase could refer to the first embodiment, and thus no repeated description is given herein.
- Before the display of the next frame picture comes, the shift register keeps repeating the denoising phase and constantly carries out the denoising process. When the display of the current frame picture is ended up and before the display of the next frame picture comes, that is, in the V-blanking phase, the fifth switch transistor M5 is turned on under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW, to denoise the output terminal Output. At this time, the voltage output by the switch power supply SW is at the high level. However, since the voltage of the pull-up node PU is at the low level, the twelfth switch transistor M12 is turned off under the control of the voltage of the pull-up node PU, such that the eleventh switch transistor M11 and the thirteenth switch transistor M1.3 are also turned off. Herein, when it needs to perform the touch control function, the touch control process can also be realized in the V-blanking phase. Since the output terminal Output is constantly denoised in the V-blanking phase, the driving signal output by the output terminal can be prevented from interfering with the touch control signal. It can be known from the above content that the compatibility mode can be also used in the V-blanking mode which performs the touch control in the V-blanking phase. In addition, when the display device does not perform the touch control phase, the compatibility mode can further be used in the display mode which does not perform the touch control. To sum up, the compatibility mode can be compatible with the display mode and the V-blanking mode, Therefore, the compatibility mode can be compatible with a conventional gate driving mode and the V-blanking gate driving mode of the in-cell touch control.
- The second mode of the shift register is the H-blanking mode, comprising the pre-charge phase, the touch control phase, the output phase, the reset phase and the denoising phase. In this mode, the operation processes of the pre-charge phase, the output phase, the reset phase and the denoising phase are the same as the first mode, and thus no repeated description is given herein. The touch control phase of the present embodiment differs from the touch control phase of the first embodiment in: since the first switch transistor M1 and tenth switch transistor M10 have leakage phenomenon, it needs to carry out supplementary charge on the pull-up node PU. Other descriptions are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus no repeated description is given herein.
- Before the display of the next frame picture comes, the shift register keeps repeating the denoising phase and carries out the denoising process constantly. When the display of the current frame picture ends up and before the display of the next frame picture comes, that is, in the H-blanking phase, the fifth switch transistor M5 is turned on under the control of the voltage output by the switch power supply SW, to denoise the output terminal Output. At this time, the voltage output by the switch power supply SW is at the high level. However, since the voltage of the pull-up node PU is at the low level, the twelfth switch transistor M12 is turned off under the control of the voltage of the pull-up node PU, such that the eleventh switch transistor M11 and the thirteenth switch transistor M13 are also turned off. The H-Blanking mode can be applied to the H-blanking gate driving mode of the in-cell touch control.
- In the shift register provided in the embodiment, the denoising module denoises the output terminal in the touch control phase, which prevents the driving signal output by the output terminal from interfering with the touch control signal, so as to avoid the touch control function of the display device from being affected; the compensation module charges the pull-up node in the touch control phase, which guarantees that the voltage of the pull-up node would not be reduced, so that the problem of no driving signal being output or the driving signal output voltage being too low is avoided from occurring after the touch control ends up. In the present embodiment, three switch transistors, i.e., the eleventh switch transistor, the twelfth switch transistor and the thirteenth switch transistors, are disposed in the compensation module, and the switch power supply needs to charge the pull-up node through two switch transistors, i.e., the eleventh switch transistor and the thirteen switch transistor, so that the coupling capacitance between the switch power supply and the pull-up node is reduced efficiently, which avoids the problem of influencing the display of other rows due to pulling up the voltage of the pull-up node PUT of other rows, so that the display quality is raised.
